before anyone gets excited, the reason our odds are so good is because we were such long odds to start the season and haven't really shortened up until the past few weeks. Vegas stands to lose a lot of money if we win it so they don't want any more money on seattle.

I don't remember seeing 75:1 odds anywhere, at least not on actual books. I put down money on 30:1 odds in late April, and those were the best we could find in Vegas. I could be wrong though, maybe someone got lucky with 75:1 odds.

The Seahawks are 3/1 to win the NFC Championship, so maybe the OP saw that and mixed up win Super Bowl odds with reach Super Bowl odds. Otherwise the Orleans is just charging a ridiculous vig compared to the other casinos.

There is some validity to this for sure, but I don't know that they would stand to lose a lot of money... I can't imagine there was a ton of money put on Seattle to win the SB to begin with. Now with all the hype/excitement surrounding Seattle now I'm sure the money is pooring in and they're hedging.
